Nothing personal, it just sounds incredibly childish and grating to my ears.

I get that. There are certain terms that irritate the f*** outta me and make me think less of the person who uses them, for like a split second, until I remind myself that it's me who has the problem not them. But I can relate.

So it begins. The Zombie Apocalypse. Congratulations, you too are as we, i.e. carrying a very rare genetic mutation that renders you immune to Zombification. I take it you have the brace of .45 ACPs, M4 carbine and autoloading Mossberg? :cool:


You must be doing something right if you're important enough to be deliberately ignored, because that's what's happening until you actually rugby-tackle the guy in The Real World(TM) :pac:

Interesting! Never thought of that! Am amid a total confusion at present involving two Denis s and a Mike!

F**k off and do some art classes, you anti-social twat!

Are prawns from fresh water?

All farmed freshwater prawns today belong to the genus Macrobrachium.

I see AIB are now "backing brave" again, instead of the grammatically ridiculous change they made to "backing doing". It's all absurd anyway

reminds me of that ad over Christmas where the little girl wants her brother home for Crimbo, and then he arrives saying "I got your card off Santa" ..... its FROM Santa .... you cant get it off him unless he is wearing it!! I am not a grammer Nazi, I know people make mistakes and words / phrases change and interchange to mean different things, but a profesional ad agency for a very large company doesnt know (or care!) about the difference between off and from ....

But your bog standard prawn from the supermarket would be from salt water?
I may be wrong but always assumed this to be the case....

While very similar in appearance, shrimp & prawns are two different species, with different gill structures, different habitats, & a difference in taste.

Shrimp come from both fresh & salt water & can live in both cold and warm waters; if they came from cold waters, then they will be smaller in size.

There are more saltwater than freshwater species of shrimp.

Prawns come from fresh water & are much larger & meatier than shrimp, like a langoustine.

Why are the car keys always in the wrong pocket? You pop into the shop, grab a few bits and while you have a few things to carry, you don't really need a bag. So there I was, running to the car in the píssing rain, reach for the car keys and of course they were in the other pocket. Forcing me to rearrange all the stuff I was carrying into the other hand, getting more soaked in the process. Amazing how the car keys suddenly decided to be in the other pocket, where I never put them.

I too am a coffee lover, but...

I have a really old cast iron teapot that belonged to my nan.

I've been known to throw some loose leaf in it of a morning, top it off with water & leave it festering on the range, topping it up daily & letting it stew for a week before I even think of cleaning it out :eek:

My OH hates it, but all the lads love my tae

Awww! I don't mind your drinking habits; just don't expect me to drink what you drink! After all if you are in a cafe or pub..I do send Lyons tea bags to Irish family in Canada so not prejudiced!

Well there was the day I had been in the Cathedral at the Christmas Crib... got to the great doors AND NAKED FINGER! Panic! The ladies were in cleaning and took pity on the poor old dear.. I had in fact taken them off my finger at the Crib and they were sitting on the bench leering at me.. It is of course like any other system; NOTHING is perfect...Anyone else panic in the car and forget the key are in the d****** door!

Neighbors dog has been pooing on the doorstep every morning for the past week, despite me cleaning it and scrubbing every bloody morning before I go to work.
TWICE I have stood on it going out the door. When my morning stupor had not quite worn off enough to remember. Ugh.

Mentioned it to the owner, but think he might have been laughing at me as I walked away.

YUKK>>> maybe wrap it in plastic with a pretty bow and present it to the owner...hardly a coincidence or the dogs idea... maybe put something the dog will hate on the doorstep.. cayenne pepper is good..

Wash the area, but do not use bleach.....it contains ammonia. Use hot water and a washing detergent or a dishwasher tablet. Failing that you can get stuff in pet shops to discourage dog fouling. Your neighbour is a bastard.
